Final remarks

Jesus knew that God would punish him for our evil deeds. He asked God if there was any other way. But there was no other way that he could forgive our evil deeds. Therefore, he was willing for God to do what God desired. Jesus understands our feelings when we suffer. This is because he too has suffered. By praying, we receive God’s strength. The disciples were not ready for what happened then. That was because they were sleeping instead of praying.

Pray

Thank you Jesus that you were willing to suffer for me. I realise now that God punished you for my evil deeds. God punished you although you never sinned. Thank you. Amen.
